So I'm not sure how but the old dpkg seemed to not check version of fink-virtuals, the patch I'm using is pretty much identical and it should have checked, but somehow it allowed things to install that I can't get in my new dpkg.
when trying to install test-simple-pm5123 for example, dpkg is right fink-virtual-pkgs returns test-harness-pm5123 as 0-0 but test-simple-pm5123 requires test-harness-pm5123 <= 3.21-104, see example below. So dpkg is functioning properly the problem is that some how in dpkg 1.10 the same code would pass. So the question is how do we solve this? a) add version to fink-virtual-pkgs b) rewrite fink-virtual-pkgs to get the version it's self (this seems like a great option but the extra time without a cache would be terrible) c) assume 0-0 means it's good to go and ignore the version test justin@tracer [/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo]$ fink-virtual-pkgs --dpkg | grep test-harness-pm test-harness-pm5123 0 0 0 justin@tracer [/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo]$ sudo dpkg -D663 -i /sw/fink/debs/test-simple-pm5123_0.98-1_darwin-x86_64.deb (Reading database ... 195742 files and directories currently installed.)
